1. What is the Diff
between APPS Schema and other Schemas?
Apps schema contains only Synonyms we can't create tables in apps schema, where
as other schema s contains tables, & all the objects. Here only we will
create the tables and giving grants on created tables. Almost all every time
we will connect to apps schema only.
2. What is meant by Custom Top and what
is the Purpose?
Custom Top is nothing but Customer Top, which is created for customer only. we can
have multiple custom tops based on client requirement. It is used to store
developed & customized components. Whenever oracle corp applying patches it
will over ride on all the modules except custom top. That’s why we will use
custom top.
3. What is the Significance of US
Folder?
It is nothing but language specification by default it is in american language.
We can have multiple languages folders based on installed languages. From
backend we can get it from
FND_LANGUAGES -- COL --INSTALLED_FLAG I,B,D
I--INSTALLED,
B--BASE,
D--DISABLE
select language_code,nls_language from fnd_languages where installed_flag like
'B'
4. Where did U find the Application
short name and basepath names?
select basepath, application_short_name from fnd_application from the backend.
From the from end we can get it Navigation
Application Developer.-----> Application---->Register
The application name we will get from FND_APPLICATION_TL
5. Where can U find the release version
from backend?
SELECT release_name from FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS;
---11.5.10.2

8. Can we have custom schema when it it
required?
Yes, we can have custom schema, when we want to create a new table we required
custom
schema.
9. What is meant by concurrent
Program?
It is nothing but Instance of the execution along with parameters &
Incompatables. Here Incompatables nothing but if we are submiting cc
programs if anyone can be execute in those program , which programs r not imp
yet this time we will mention those programs in incompatables
tab.
10. What are the steps we will follow to
register Reports as Concurrent Program?
First develop the report & save it in local machine. upload into
custom_top/11.5.0/reports/us/ go to system administrator open executable
form create executable by mentioning executable method as reports
,executable as report name which was created. go to cc program form
create cc program by attach executable name in executable section. Then attach
this cc program to request group, Request group to Responsibility. Responsibility
to User.
11. What is meant by Request group?
It is nothing but collection of cc
programs.
12. What is Application Top?
What are the types and Purpose?
A) When we connect to the server we will
find the top called application top. Under application top we have
Product top.
Custom top
Product top is the default top built by the manufacturer. Custom top is
used to select the Client for his business purposes. Customizations are done
with the Custom top.
13. What is US folder in the Custom

Schema: Schema is the location in database contains database objects like
views, tables, and synonyms.
Apps Schema: It is used to connect the all schemas to get the information from The
database.
16. What is Token?
Use to transfer values to report builder and it is not case sensitive.
17. Difference between FORM, Function
and Menu?
A menu is a hierarchical arrangement of functions and menus. Each
responsibility has a menu assigned to it. A function is a part of an
application that is registered under a unique name for the purpose of assigning
it to be including it from a menu.
18. Tell me something about SQL-LOADER.
Sql * loader is a bulk loader utility used for moving data from external files
into the oracle database.
Sql* loader supports various load formats, selective loading, and multi-tables
loads.
1) Conventional --The conventional path loader essentially loads the data by
using standard ‘insert’ statement.
2) Direct -- The direct path loader (direct = true) by possess of logic
involved with that, and loads directly in to the oracle data files.
EX:- My data.csv file
1001, “scott tiger”,1000,40
1002,”gvreddy”,2345,50
Load data
Infile ‘c:\data\mydata.csv’
insert Into table emp Fields terminated by “,” optionally enclosed by‘”’
(empno, empname, sal, deptno)

groups, including the identifying address information for the party.
hz_cust_accounts (cust_account_id)
HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS stores information about customer
relationships. If a party becomes a customer, information about the customer
account is stored in this table. You can establish multiple customer
relationships with a single party, so each party can have multiple customer
account records in this table.
hz_cust_acct_sites_all (cust_acct_site_id)
HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES_ALL stores information about customer sites. One customer
account can have multiple sites. The address is maintained in HZ_LOCATIONS.
hz_cust_site_uses_all (site_use_id)

A single customer site can have multiple site uses, such as bill to or ship to,
and each site use is stored as a record in this table.
hz_party_sites (party_site_id)
HZ_PARTY_SITES stores information about the relationship between Parties and
Locations. The same party can have multiple party sites. Physical addresses are
stored in HZ_LOCATIONS.

HZ_PERSON_PROFILES stores detail information about people.
hz_Organization_Profiles (organization_profile_id)
HZ_ORGANIZATION_PROFILES stores credit rating, financial statistics, socioeconomic
and corporate linkage information for business sites. The primary key for this
table is ORGANIZATION_PROFILE_ID.
21. FND USER EXITS:-
FND SRWINIT sets your profile option values, multiple organizations and
allows
Oracle Application Object Library user exits to detect that they have been
called by an Oracle Reports program.
FND SRWEXIT ensures that all the memory allocated for AOL user exits have been
freed up properly.
FND FLEXIDVAL are used to display flex field information like prompt, value etc
FND FLEXSQL these user exits allow you to use flex fields in your reports
FND FORMAT_CURRENCY is used to print currency in various formats by using
formula column
22. What is Value Set?
The value set is a collection (or) container of values.
Whenever the value set associated with any report parameters. It provides list
of values to the end user to accept one of the values as report parameter
value.
If the list of values needed to be dynamic and ever changing and define a table
based values set.
What
are the validation types?
1) None -------- validation is minimal.
2) Independent ------input must exist on previously defined list of values
3) Dependent ------input is checked against a subset of values based on a Prior
value.
4) Table ----- input is checked against values in an application table
5) Special ------values set uses a flex field itself.
6) Pair ------ two flex fields together specify a range of valid values.
7) Translatable independent ----- input must exist on previously defined list of
values; translated values can be
used.
8) Translatable dependent ------- input is checked against a subset of values based
on a prior values; translated value can be used.

p) Save and compile the form.
Place the .fmx in the server directory.
24. How does u customize the Reports?
a) Identify the Short name of the standard
report in which module we have to
customize
Ex: - if u wants to customize in the AR module
path is
Appl top\ar\11.5.0\reports\US\ .rdf
b. Open the .rdf file in Report builder and
change the name of the module.
c. Open the data module and modify the query
(what is client requirements) assign the
columns to the attributes.
d. Go to report wizard and select, what r the
newly created columns.
e. Then Compile it. Then u will get a .rep file
in the specified module. If it is not in
the specified directory then we have to put in the server directory.
f. Then Register in the AOL Concurrent
Executable and Concurrent Program.
g. Go to system administrator Security à Responsibility
à request.
h. Add and assign a concurrent program to a
request group
25.
FLEX FIELDS?
Used to capture the additional business
information.
DFF
KFF
Additional Unique Info,
Mandatory
Captured in attribute prefixed
columns Segment prefixed
Not reported on standard
reports Is reported on standard reports
To provide expansion space on your form
With the help of [].
[] Represents descriptive Flex field.
FLEX FILED : DESCRIPTIVE :
REGISTER Used for entering and displaying key information
For example Oracle General uses a key Flex field
called Accounting Flex field to uniquely identify a general account.
FLEX FILED : KEY : REGISTER
26. Difference
between Bind and Lexical parameters?
BIND VARIABLE:
are used to replace a single value in sql,
pl/sql
bind variable may be used to replace expressions
in select, where, group, order by,
having, connect by, start with cause of queries.
bind reference may not be referenced in FROM
clause (or) in place of reserved words or
clauses.
LEXICAL REFERENCE:
You can use lexical reference to replace the
clauses appearing AFTER select, from,
group by, having, connect by, start with.
You can’t make lexical reference in pl/sql
statements.
27. What
is Flex mode and Confine mode?
Confine mode:
On: child objects cannot be moved outside their
enclosing parent objects.
Off: child objects can be moved outside their
enclosing parent objects.
Flex mode:
On: parent borders "stretch" when
child objects are moved against them.
Off: parent borders remain fixed when child
objects are moved against them.
28. What
is Place holder Columns?
A placeholder is a
column is an empty container at design time. The placeholder can hold a value
at run time has been calculated and placed in to It by pl/sql code from anther
object.
You can set the value of a placeholder column is
in a Before Report trigger.
Store a Temporary value for future reference.
EX. Store the current max salary as records are retrieved.
29. What
is Formula Column?
A formula column performs a user-defined
computation on another column(s) data, including placeholder columns.
30. What
is a Summary column?
A summary column performs a computation on
another column's data. Using the Report Wizard or Data Wizard, you can create
the following summaries: sum, average, count, minimum, maximum, % total. You
can also create a summary column manually in the Data Model view, and use the
Property Palette to create the following additional summaries: first, last, standard deviation, variance.
31. What
is TCA (Trading Community Architecture)?
Ans. Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA)
is a data model that allows you to manage complex information about the
parties, or customers, who belong to your commercial community, including
organizations, locations, and the network of hierarchical relationships among
them. This information is maintained in the TCA Registry, which is the single
source of trading community information for Oracle E-Business Suite
applications.
32. Difference

33. What
are Flex fields?
Ans. A Flex field is a
customizable field that opens in a window from a regular Oracle Applications
window. Defining flex fields enables you to tailor Oracle Applications to your
own business needs. By using flex fields, you can:
(a) Structure certain identifiers required by
oracle applications according to your own business environment.
(b) Collect and display additional information
for your business as needed.
Key Flex
fields: You use key flex fields to
define your own structure for many of the identifiers required by Oracle
Applications. Profile – ‘Flexfields:Open Key Window’ (FND_ID_FLEXS)
Descriptive
Flex field: You use descriptive flex
fields to gather additional information about your business entities beyond the
information required by Oracle Applications. Profile – Flex fields: Open Descr
Window’ (FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXS)
34. Report
registration process?
1. Create the report using the report builder.
2. Place the report definition file in the
module specific reports directory.
3. Create an executable for the report
definition file.
4. Create a concurrent program to that
executable.
5. Associate the
concurrent program to a request group.
35. Define
Request Group?
A request security group is the collection of
requests, request sets, and concurrent programs that a user, operating under a
given responsibility, can select from the Submit Requests window.
36. Value
Sets?
Oracle Application Object Library uses values,
value sets and validation tables as important components of key flex fields,
descriptive flex fields, Flex Builder, and Standard Request Submission.
When you first define your flex fields, you
choose how many segments you want to use and what order you want them to
appear. You also choose how you want to validate each of your segments. The
decisions you make affect how you define your value sets and your values.
You define your value sets first, either before
or while you define your flex field
segment structures. You typically define your
individual values only after your flex field has been completely defined (and
frozen and compiled). Depending on what type of value set you use, you may not
need to predefine individual values at all before you can use your flex field.
You can share value sets among segments in
different flex fields, segments in
different structures of the same flex field, and
even segments within the same flex field structure. You can share value sets
across key and descriptive flex fields. You can also use value sets for report
parameters for your reports that use the Standard Report Submission feature.
Navigation Path:
Login – Application Developer -> Application
-> Validation -> Set
37. Value
Validation Types?
1. Dependent
2. Independent
3. None
4. Pair
5. Special
6. Table
7. Translate Independent
8. Translate Dependent
38.
Incompatibility in report registration and
Run Alone?
Identify programs that should not run
simultaneously with your concurrent program because they might interfere with
its execution.
You can specify your program as being incompatible
with itself.
Application: Although the default for this field
is the application of your concurrent program, you can enter any valid
application name.
Name: The program name and application you
specify must uniquely identify a
concurrent program. Your list displays the
user-friendly name of the program, the short name, and the description of the
program.
Scope: Enter Set or Program Only to specify
whether your concurrent program is z incompatible with this program and all its
child requests (Set) or only with this
program (Program Only).
Run Alone: Indicate whether your program should
run alone relative to all other programs in the same logical database. If the
execution of your program interferes with
the execution of all other programs in the same logical database (in other
words, if your program is incompatible with all programs in its logical database, including itself), it should run
alone.
